Discworld #31
Terry Pratchett
Front cover |
Polly joins the army in an attempt to find her brother. Little does she know, all her squad are women! Among her is a vampire with a thirst for coffee, a troll and a few other fine young 'lads'. But will she find her brother? What will happen if her secret comes out?
It felt weird that this one wasn't centred around main areas like Ankh-Morpork and Klatch but it's good to explore other areas. And we weren't left completely without a familiar face; William de Worde made an appearance.
I liked the strong female presence in Monstrous Regiment. It makes me wonder just how many females disguised themselves as men in order to join the army in real life. Probably a lot more than are recorded, certainly.
Definitely worth a read.
